Being close to the 'teens in days left, I've had so many thoughts going through my head.
Biggest...I have nothing done!!! I feel like I still have tons of time and it will eventually get done...really I should just face reality and realize that it probably wont until our little guy gets here! I'm nervous for Ella. I'm already sad that I'm going to have to leave her to be at the hospital and then even more nervous that she'll feel like I'm neglecting her. She's my baby!!! I'm even struggling to get to the baby's room. I'll walk in there and fold blankets and hang up clothes but other than that...it's definitely a work in progress. I truly do feel so blessed for this new edition to our family and am told that these feelings are very natural. I can't wait to see Cason with a son! He's already so cute with Ella. Here are some pics from Ella's birth!!!

Amanda I feel ya! I think it's a tuff job being the first kid. She will have to adjust like you do having a new addition. Thankfully she won't remember the "adjusting" days. All she'll remember is having a brother and a play mate! I am so excited for you! You will do wonderful. The Lord will take care of Ella. He'll fill any void she might feel having a new baby around because you are blessing your family with another child!
I can't believe you're so close!! I wish I were there to give you a big hug and to help take care of Ella while you're at the hospital. I remember her big day like it was yesterday! Missing you like crazy. Give that hubby of yours and little Beans a big hug from me and Bri. Love you so much!
Hey you are still alive! Haven't seen you on the blog in a while. Figured you've been busy! Ella will be fine, I know we've talked about it before. It's totally a mom's job though to worry, so you're ok. If you need some help call me ok!
Ella will be just fine. I still worry a little about the amount of time I spend with both boys, I don't want to neglect anyone. I think that worrying about that stuff makes you a good mom though. I always let Clayton "help" me take care of Noah. That always made me feel better about the amount of time I spent with them!
I feel you too! Ella will be fine! I think in some way they totally understand! With Trace I just made him feel like it was going to be a fun sleep over at Great Nana's for a couple nights. And if you need any help... Please let me know!
Oh my goodness! When your blog first popped up, I thought you had the baby!! You know what, Ella will probably think that it's her baby, and not your baby, lol! She'll be fine. Just let her be the big sister and help you get the diapers and wipes and such. She'll be GREAT!!
I think it's so natural! It's human to want everything perfect and be completely ready. Everything is going to be fine and the baby isn't going to know that you didn't get everything done that you wanted to. Believe me I'm so guilty of having everything done and perfect.
What I mean....I always want everything perfect, but it never is!
I know exactly how you feel! I was so worried about Jaylee and felt guilty because of what a big shock it was going to be for her not to be the only one in Jared's and my life. I know in the long run, she'll be so happy to have a brother to play with, but I know it's going to take some time to adjust.
Yikes. When I first saw the picture I thought you had already had your baby! They are so cute. I love pictures of dad's with their babies.
I can't believe you only have 22 days left. Actually...it's only 14 days since you get to go early! Let me know if you need any help:)
Awww, those pics are sooo cute! I'm sure you'll get it all done! I remember Ella's room at Mickey's house and that was adorable. Post some pics of everything when you get it done!
All the feelings you are having are natural and I think every mom goes through the same feelings. You both will do great. I am excited to see you on Christmas. I didnt get you see you when you were big and pregnate with ella. So you better stay pregnate so i can see you!
I agree with everyone else. With baby #2 coming, you always worry about things that never happen. Once you all hold that little guy, all your worries will go away!
I am excited for you! Babies are the best!
